In depth

Verdict

Garruth who was a very good hurdler for Tim Easterby has become very disappointing over fences for Paul Nicholls, but he was only beaten 13 lengths in calls B event last time out and this is a lot easier despite the fact that his best form is on softer ground he looks impossible to oppose. If anything were to happen to Garruth, Charlie Chang looks the most likely beneficiary having won a small race at Bangor last time out. Jack Be Smart and Ardeal look very one paced.
